Abstract excerpt
The nature and origin of the epithelial layers in acquired cholesteatoma is still unclear. Although previous morphological studies comparing external meatal and cholesteatoma epithelium have shown no significant difference, bone resorption is generally much more severe with cholesteatoma than with chronic otitis media without cholesteatoma. It is possible that cholesteatoma epithelium has undergone transformation...
